Irish Bar.
A lovely little bar that again serves the black nectar known as draught Guinness, is Irish Annie's. Tables outside and a sunny location mean that in the height of Summer the bar NEEDS both of its two air conditioning units running at the same time. Spacious and comfortable with a warm welcome are the key words here. And Yes the bar owner's name IS Annie !

Guinness, Amstel and Heiniken are sold here.

Price range:
More expensive than most English bars.
Atmosphere:
Good craic.
Theme:
Great Irish decor throughout.
Opening times:
Lunchtimes and until fairly late at night. Open earlier on Tuesdays for the market.
Disabled notes:
Level access but toilets are quite narrow.

Dress Code: Casual. No beach wear.

Karaoke Bar.
The Blanco y Negro is known by its English name of 'the Black and White, (although it litterally translates to White and Black).

The bar is only open at night time and is a Karaoke bar. (If you like that sort of thing).

Look carefully to find it as it is secluded up a shopfronted entry, although they do put an 'A' frame board outside to direct you.

Price range:
Can't remember. I don't go in there very often.
Atmosphere:
Depends on whether you like Karaoke or not. Can be loud and/or painful to the ears!
Theme
Modern and 'nightclubish'.
Opening times:
About 9pm til late.
Disabled notes:
Not really wheelchair friendly.

Dress Code: Casual

British Cafe/Bar.
Despite the olde worlde name, this is a bright, airy and modern bar. The Smugglers is larger that many bars in Nerja and quite comfortable, having a mezanine level which overlooks the Avenida Castilla Perez and so is ideal for people watching.

Good food is served here.
The Smugglers considers itself as a restaurant as well as a bar.

Price range:
Good value for money.
Atmosphere:
Not that much unless you bring your own company with you.
Theme:
The inside does NOT carry on the theme of the name of the place. Too modern.
Opening times:
Mid morning until fairly late at night.
Disabled notes:
Not wheelchair friendly as there a flight of steps down to the bar and narrow passage to toilets.

Dress Code: Casual.

Irish Bar.
Another bar that is a bit out of the way in Nerja is the Anchor Inn.
It is a pleasant little bar but hardly Irish. Where they got that idea from I do not know. I would have thought a nautical theme might have been more appropriate with the name of The Anchor but they may be just 'climbing on the bandwagon' with the current trend of Irish pubs. As in "Seen one so another must also be good".

Another bar that serves draught Guinness.

Because it is so out of the way on a Calle that you dont HAVE to walk down to get somewhere, they only have a small portion of the trade available. Do pop in and give them some custom if you're in that part of town.

Price range:
Good value for money.
Atmosphere:
Good conversations but the place only livens up later.
Theme:
An odd mixture of nautical and Irish.
Opening times:
From 7pm daily.
Disabled notes:
Not really suitable for wheelchairs.

Dress Code: Casual

British Sports Bar.
D.B.'s is really the name of this place. The letters stand for certain parts of the reproductive anatomy of a dog! , as the wall mural on your right as you go in will clarify.

They have several TV screens including a big screen.

You can get draught Guinness here too amongst other beers.

A horse racing bet can be placed here at lunchtimes.

It is quieter at lunchtimes than evenings, when it can get rather busy. It is also one of the larger bars in Nerja. It has a terrace outside at the rear but I cannot comment on this as I have not seen that part of the bar as of yet.

Price range:
Good value for money.
Atmosphere:
Basic sports bar so bring your own company.
Theme:
No specific theme for this large Sports bar.
Opening hours:
Mid morning until around 1:00am.
Disabled notes:
Level access with large toilets.

Dress Code: Casual

British Sports Bar.
Sports, especially motor racing, on TV at the Barbados (If you like that sort of thing). The observant of you will have noticed the Formula 1 posters and the model cars as part of the decor as Mark is devoted to motor racing.

Free nibbles on the bar.

Draught Guinness, Carling Black Label served here.

Price range:
Good value for money.
Atmosphere:
Cosy.
Theme:
Motor racing theme throughout.
Opening hours:
From around lunchtime util about 11:00 pm.

British Bar.
A small but bright and airy little bar. This bar has changed out of all recognition to what it used to look like. Whether that is for the better or worse, you will have to make your own mind up. How many of you remember the days of the beamed ceiling and the spiral stairs by the entrance door and the fridge in the front window?

Price range:
Unknown at this time.
Atmosphere:
Seems to have lost a lot of character.
Theme:
Wine bar style.
Opening times:
Closed all day on SATURDAYS.
Disabled notes:
Level access and wheelchair friendly toilets.

Dress Code: Casual
